Notes:

For being such a popular story, there is a depressing lack of art out there for it.

These rats seem to me to be more like civilised Skaven than the devolved, cannibalistic inbred humans as described in the original story.

Artist's Description:

“My searchlight expired, but still I ran. I heard voices, and yowls, and echoes, but above all there gently rose that impious, insidious scurrying, gently rising, rising as a stiff bloated corpse gently rises above an oily river that flowsunder endless onyx bridges to a black putrid sea. Something bumped into me – something soft and plump. It must have been the rats; the viscous, gelatinous, ravenous army that feast on the dead and the living…” – The Rats In The Walls – H.P Lovecraft 1923

As part of my thesis 'Illustrating Literary Works' It would be very awesome if you guys could provide me with some feed back as to what you think about the illustration and if have indeed managed to capture the feel and environment of the story… also any suggestions and constructive criticism is very welcome :) thanks!
